Bumrah's ODI debut -- an instance of serendipity

Rediff.com25 Jan 2016

In a series in which, batsmen have dominated the bowlers with an unprecedented 3159 runs being scored, including 11 centuries hit by batters of both sides in the five one-day internationals. Pacer Jasprit Bumrah seems to have answered captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni's distress call in the fifth and final ODI at Sydney. Conceding only 40 runs for his 2 wickets off his full quota of 10 overs, Bumrah impressed with his pace and discipline especially in the death overs, when Australia posted a mammoth 331-run target. But, was it sheer luck that led to the surprise debut of this 22-year-old fast bowler from Gujarat? As per reports, Bumrah- picked only for the T20I series in Australia was supposed to travel with the rest of players in the squad for shortest format and join rest of the team in Adelaide- the venue for first T20I. But due to unavailability of tickets, the Board of Cricket Control in India had to send Bumrah to Sydney.
